Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Time soon came to the end of 1918.

At this time, three years had passed since the armistice of World War I was officially signed.

In these three years, although the level of tension in the world was not as high as before the First World War, it was definitely not peaceful.

There are still conflicts between countries, which are irreconcilable. The confrontation between countries has changed from an open battle to a sharp confrontation in the dark side.

This kind of confrontation mainly exists in the post-war recovery of various countries. To put it simply, countries are holding each other back. We hope that other countries will recover more slowly than us.

Of course, there is no such thing as a war, and it is not absolute, just like the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Sakura Kingdom.

Let’s first talk about the situation in Rakshasa Kingdom.

Ever since Nicholas II fled Siberia, the Rakshasa Empire has been at war with the Democratic Republic. In other words, since the Southwest Front raised the flag of rebellion, the Rakshasa Empire has been at war.

The war, sparked by a rebellion, has been going on for four years.

If the time of the First World War is included, then the war in the Rakshasa Empire has lasted for 8 years.

These eight years of war have caused huge harm to the people of the Rakshasa Empire.

The Daxia Bureau of Statistics estimates that the number of casualties between the Rakshasa Empire and the Democratic Republic has now exceeded 8 million.

If the casualties during World War I are added, the eight years of war brought a total of 2000 million casualties to the Rakshasa Empire.

You know, in history, in the entire World War I, 33 countries participated, and the number of casualties was only 3000 million.

Looking at it this way, you can see how serious the casualties of the Rakshasa Empire were.

The large number of casualties has brought many problems. Industrial production was reduced, industrial production was reduced, and a large number of people went bankrupt and became slaves.

That's right, now whether it's the Rakshasa Empire or the Democratic Republic, the long-lost class of serfs has appeared again.

Some people who could barely survive in the past can no longer support themselves with a year's work.

Therefore, the people at the bottom who were desperate and did not want to starve to death had no choice but to find a way to join the army.

And this is a vicious cycle.

The common people at the bottom join the army mainly because they don't have enough food to feed themselves, so they want to join the army, eat military rations, and fight for the upper-class nobles.

As more people joined the army, more and more land was left uncultivated, food production was further reduced, and food became increasingly scarce.

Based on the current situation, if the two sides do not cease fighting, a large-scale rebellion may occur on both sides within a year at most.

The state's superstructure collapsed completely.

Neither the Rakshasa Empire nor the Democratic Republic wanted to see this situation.

Therefore, both sides are preparing to launch the last large-scale battle. If they can gain an advantage in this last large-scale offensive, then even if there is no way to eliminate the other side, they will gain a huge advantage at the negotiation table.

As a result, the two sides had a tacit understanding and launched what was later called the Winter Offensive in the Ural Mountains, Caucasus Mountains and other areas.

Both sides invested a total of more than five million troops in this battle, which can be said to be the strength of the entire country.

这场战役是从1918年11月21日开始，然后只持续到了1918年11月30日。

In just 9 days, both sides suffered more than one million casualties.

This level of tragedy moved the entire Western world.

However, having said that, the reason why this battle only lasted for 9 days was because of a little accident.

In the Democratic Republic, the second largest faction, the Bush faction (get it? Don’t understand Baidu) suddenly broke out in an uprising, captured St. Petersburg, announced the dissolution of Congress, and announced that the previous high-level officials had committed dozens of major crimes such as crimes against humanity and war crimes. offense.

Then, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, the leaders of the Buddhism faction arrested all the former senior officials, tried them in public in St. Petersburg, and executed them all by hanging.

Before the rebellion started, the Bu Faction had always claimed that it represented the people at the bottom, so those bottom people who could no longer survive responded to the Bu Faction one after another.

And just like this, the Bush faction, with a big stick in one hand and a jujube in the other, successfully took over most of the rights of the Democratic Republic.

At this time, the cloth faction, which had initially taken power, considered that it had no military power, so the cloth faction called on the people at the bottom to stand up and defend their country.

Suddenly, responders gathered, and in just half a month, the Bu faction recruited more than 600,000 new soldiers.

Although these people did not have much military literacy, they were still able to defend the new regime of Bupai with their passion.

And this leaves the problem to the army of the Democratic Republic still in the Urals and Caucasus.

Since St. Petersburg was captured and all high-level officials were executed, many areas in the country began to respond to the call of the Buddhism faction and recognized the Buddhism faction's takeover of the Republic. This resulted in the troops on the front line being cut off from supplies.

There are only two roads before them, one is to surrender to the Buddhism faction, the other is to surrender to the Rakshasa Empire, that is, Nicholas II.

Nicholas had previously made harsh words that he would execute all officers involved in the rebellion.

(To this day, Nicholas has not recognized democratic republic status.)

Therefore, the senior officers on the front line simply did not dare to surrender to Nicholas, so after half a month of escaping, the vast majority of the troops in the Caucasus and Ural Mountains chose to surrender to the Buddhism faction.

In fact, they also know that if they surrender to the Buddhism faction, they will definitely not be able to keep the rights they currently have. However, losing your privileges is better than losing your life.

Now that the situation is over, they, the former senior military officers, cannot make any big waves.

Don't ask, why don't the troops on the front line attack St. Petersburg and take back the initiative?

In a word, there is no supply, and the Rakshasa Empire army on the opposite side will not give up such a good opportunity.

As long as they dare to retreat, the Rakshasa Empire's army will dare to rush over.

In addition, the soldiers were worried about their families in the rear and did not dare to attack at will. Therefore, these officers had no choice but to resolve this matter peacefully.

The leaders of the Buddhism faction know that the top priority now is to stabilize the basic structure of the Buddhism faction and not let it collapse.

So the leaders of the Buddhism faction could only agree to those officers retaining their property and then hand over military power.

The officers had no choice but to agree to the proposal of the Bu faction leader.

Therefore, on January 1919, 1, the Bush faction completely took over the command of millions of troops on the front line.

At this time, Nicholas also knew that facing a new opponent, he was still an opponent with the support of the majority of the people at the bottom. Even when the opponent's army was in the most chaos, he did not dare to act rashly.

Because, he knew that if he were to touch a new country at this time, even if he had the advantage on the battlefield, he would not be able to defeat the opponent in a short time.

The greatest possibility is that the Rakshasa Empire can maintain the current situation.

And the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Nikolay.

Therefore, Nicholas could only request a ceasefire from the Buddhism faction.
